Re: In wall Conduit

["Stuart Worrall" <stuart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

didnt see this come through so ive emailed my reply again..


thanks tim, it took a while but we got there in the end.  Got full approval
from SWMBO before the build after I showed here Grooves floating wall build
on the avforums which i got inspiration (copied) off :)

yup its on an x10 dimmer module.  Think its about 18w per metre and i put
about 5-6 metres in.  I rarely dim it though, just keep it at full
brightness.  The only thing is they get warm so you might want to remember
that if you run it around a TV with vents.  the Ikea LEDS run quite cool
and
work well on the back of the tv.

The good thing with a floating wall is the lack of conduit, i could drop a
laptop through the hole where the cables go  :)
